Re: Wearing a scent to sleep?

most of my reviews are done after I've come home, taken a shower, and prepared for bed. It is at this sanguine time that I can fully focus on the "experience" of a fragrance, and it also helps me to get an idea of longevity by seeing how much scent still clings to me when I wake up in the morning... not to mention my girlfriend loves how I fill up the bedroom with aroma when we lay down.

I've not done the pillow-spray but I regularly spritz or annoint myself before bed. Lately I've been alternating between Madini Ambar Gris with a spritz or 2 of Balmain's Ambre Gris, or Tam Dao with a bit of Avignon. I find sandalwood and frankincense together to be sooooo comforting and relaxing.

Rare is the night when I don't go through the ritual of assessing my day in the shower, deciding the right frame of mind to get a good night sleep to either savor or erase the events of the day, then choosing the perfect fragrance to achieve that effect.

Re: Wearing a scent to sleep?

Wearing a scent to sleep would be rather unlikely in my case, since I have no experience with that whatsoever. And yet... some of the scents I love and wear give me, if worn shortly before I go to sleep or linger strongly, even into the night, after a previous application, such a balanced, inspiring, pleasant physical, emotional, intellectual etc. state that, indirectly, my overall well- being is so great I actually (among other things) sleep better and wake up more relaxed.

Re: Wearing a scent to sleep?

My hands are pretty rough so I use Aesop heavy-scented hand cream before I retire to bed. The hand cream unfortunately sort of clashes with any scent which I might want to wear to sleep. Fortunately Aesop makes some of the most divine-smelling stuff and that orange-scented cream helps to lure me to sleep quickly.
